Mission: To empower educators through cutting-edge Instructional Technology and Innovation Development Training. Dedication to equipping teachers, future teachers, and the community with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to adapt to the evolving landscape of education and business.

This involves a comprehensive approach to equipping educators with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively integrate technology into their teaching methods. It includes:
# Professional Development Programs: Implementing professional development programs that offer continuous training for educators. These programs will focus on the latest technological advancements, innovative teaching methods, and how to leverage technology to enhance instructional strategies.
# Resource Management: Efficiently managing and providing resources, both technological and educational, to teachers. This ensures that educators have access to the tools and materials required to enhance their teaching methods
# Supporting a Dynamic Learning Environment: Fostering an environment where teachers and future teachers can become proficient in leveraging technology. This entails creating a hub for training and retraining the academic community in emerging learning technological tools.
# Promoting Equitable Learning: Empowering teachers to plan and implement innovative instruction that is learner-centered. The focus is on encouraging teachers to use technology to engage students and prepare them for the rapidly changing world, thereby promoting equitable learning experiences.

'''<u>Strategic Priority #1</u>'''
'''<u>Peer-to-Peer Entrepreneurship Growth</u>'''
Enhance the entrepreneurship and innovation landscape by offering students an atmosphere of simultaneous learning and connection through Morgan's Leadership Circles. These circles will help members achieve their business goals through peer-to-peer learning, peer-to-peer support, and peer-to-peer accountability. Participants will meet regularly with like-minded people, discuss business challenges, learn from each other, learn from experts and mentors, and have a peer network that supports them and encourages accountability. The goal is to inspire members to be committed to each other’s and their own success and be willing to give and receive advice and ideas. We want to spur an entrepreneurial ecosystem that encourages students to grow together with the help of each other so that there can be a sharing of best practices and lessons learned, thereby minimizing avoidable failures.
'''<u>Strategic Priority #2</u>'''
'''<u>Greater Interaction Between Disciplines and Among the Community</u>'''
We see that there is a need to intersect students and faculty to cultivate camaraderie, networking and diversifying information exchange between various interdisciplinary departments. Our speaker series, BearTalks, will encourage in-person student engagement, diversify intellectual acumen and foster collaborative relationships across Morgan State’s Campus. Paying homage to “TEDTalks”, BearTalks is a social pilot event where students, faculty, and verified guests from the local community can present topics on various subjects across all disciplinary departments followed by the ability to network amongst fellow Morgan students and faculty, as well as local community members and business owners. BearTalks would be a place for collaboration and deepening in-person relationships amongst those within Morgan and it's vicinity.
